Oh no, designer! Budget constraints on this new range of figures means we can only allow for a total of seven (7) points of articulation on your designs.

WHERE DO YOU PUT THEM?

No Hasbro designer. I won't do your job for you.

This is how i would do it. Arms would have to be preposed/sculpted into some firing/uselful pose.

The chest joint allows for more dynamic poses, and the legs have to be at least this articulated.
>>
This is a huge dilemma for me because waist and knee joints are essentially useless without ankle joints.

Wipe hands on pants, ship it.

Pretty much the best option. Lack of elbows would concern me when considering buying it though. Maybe move the chest joint to the head.

Would already come in a sitting down pose. You have to buy the fully articulated wheelchair separately.

do what McFarlane did.

Who cares if it's a McStatue, because it's beautiful.

Tough choice A is elbows or knees, and tough choice B is chest swivel, hip swivel, or neck swivel.
>>
>>5757805
I like this one, especially if you pre-pose the hands/arms in a way that feels appropriate for the character. Funny thing is, a chest joint that acts as an ab-crunch and waist joint in one can go a long way in making the figure feel more dynamic than one with neck/head movement.
>>
Make a knight figure - shield arm elbow sculpted at a right angle, swap chest ball joint to hinge in sword arm for more expressive striking poses. Balljoints in each hip should be sufficient for creating some interesting stances.

I quit the job. There's no point in making such shitty toy.

This. 9 points minimum.
>>
>>5759686
I could deal with 8 (shoulders, elbows, hips, knees) if the sculpt was nice and it was figure I liked and would probably never get another figure. But 9 is better.

I would like a Trogdor better.

>>5760525
Give me the whole main cast. An articulated StrongBad would make me so happy. But it seems like the type to have some line 0 POA vinyl toys that came out in 2004 that are impossible to find now.
>>
>>5760530
Googled it, I'm right. Unarticulated PVC.
